Public parks and facilities in the Tri-Cities got a big financial boost this year from the Washington state Legislature with nearly $5 million in funding. The 105-day session ended Sunday, and Tri-City lawmakers highlighted more than $46 million in local projects included in the state’s 2023-25 capital budget.
…“The capital budget is about taking just a little bit of the money that our taxpayers send to Olympia and bringing it back home, where we can invest it in improving our infrastructure, bettering our quality of life and creating good-paying jobs for our people,” Sen. Matt Boehnke, R-Kennewick, said in a statement.
